<< Is this the legendary southern US favorite "Chicken and Waffles"??  I have 
 heard numerous references to that particular dish, but have never, in spite 
of all of my research, come across even a  vague description of the recipe.

Oh Balthazar!  You live in the wrong area!  "Chicken and Waffle" Suppers are 
a MAJOR fundraiser for the local churches here in central PA!   And 
Yes....you stew the chicken until it falls off the bones..remove the bones, 
skin, gristle, etc and make gravy with the broth.  Add the shredded chicken 
meat to the gravy.  Serve over hot, crispy waffles!  My parent's church adds 
corn, homemade pickled cabbage slaw, mashed potatoes, raw veggies (celery and 
carrots) and your choice of a variety of (donated...also homemade) pies and 
cakes!  It's all served "family style" (bowls on the table) and last year 
they served over 700 people!
